Eco-activist and journalist from Tatarstan Guzel Kasimova was detained in the city of Cherkessk, Stavropol Territory, late in the evening on November 21, 2024. The next day, her friend, also an eco-activist and pensioner Stalin Erlenbakh went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Cherkessk to file a missing person report for Kasimova, and she was also detained.
